AbstractObjectives:To demonstrate the importance of detailed clinical analysis in the differential diagnosis of a cyst in the floor of the mouth, and to provide an update on current knowledge and treatment of sublingual hydatid cyst.Case report:A 23-year-old man presented complaining of a swelling in the midline of the sublingual region, present for four months and progressively increasing in size. Ultrasonography of the neck revealed a well defined, hypoechoic lesion in the sublingual region, containing a calcific focus. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed numerous round to oval structures resembling brood capsules, with scolices and occasional hooklets. T1- and T2-weighted, multiplanar magnetic resonance imaging scans showed a well defined, multiloculated lesion in the sublingual region.Conclusion:Hydatid disease may present as a slow-growing cyst in the sublingual region. Aspiration cytology should preferably be avoided until radiological imaging studies are complete. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose hydatid disease in an unusual location.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease which occurs due to infectivity with larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. The disease is chronic and cysts can be lodged in different organs. It has cosmopolitan distribution and impact health and economical challenges for many countries throughout the world. The location of the disease is mostly in the liver and lungs. Hydatid disease of breast is extremely rare. A case report of 24 year female with the diagnosis of the hydatid breast is described in detail. The patient presented with painless lump in the upper inner quadrant of right breast of two months duration. History of trauma, pus discharge, itching, weight loss, fever or hormonal therapy were absent. The patient was diagnosed preoperatively as cysticercosis right breast by fine needle aspiration cytology based on the laboratory results conducted outside the hospital. However, histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid breast. It is the second diagnosed case in Nepal. Therefore, accurate information on the distribution of the disease is first step for the control and prevention. Only few reports are published in the literature about breast hydatid cyst.Thus, we want to emphasize the importance of keeping hydatid disease in differential diagnosis of cystic breast lesions, particularly in endemic region, where the disease could mimic fibroadenoma, phyllodes tumors, chronic abscesses.Journal of Nepalgunj Medical College Vol.12(1) 2014: 41-42

AbstractObjective:A case of solitary extracranial cysticercosis of the parotid gland is reported. A discussion concerning the clinical features, imaging modalities, diagnostic methods and management of cysticercosis, along with a review of relevant literature is also presented.Case report:A young female patient presented with features resembling acute parotitis. Solitary cysticercosis of the parotid gland was diagnosed, based on fine needle aspiration cytology and radiological investigations. Medical therapy was effective, consequently surgery was deferred.Conclusion:This is the first report of solitary extracranial cysticercosis of the parotid gland. A high index of suspicion for such parasitic infestations is essential even in non-endemic areas due to the ease of worldwide travel.

Cyst Hydatid

Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease caused by larvae of Echinococcus. The disease is distributed worldwide. However there are very few reports on cytology findings of hydatid disease as FNA in such cases is contraindicated. Usually hydatid disease is diagnosed on histopathology, but recently fine needle aspiration cytology of hydatid cyst is emerging and is still an issue of debate that whether it can cause dissemination of parasite in the body or not . Due to fewer studies on cytology it poses a problem in diagnosing hydatid disease on cytology. We present two case reports of hydatid cyst on cytology. Keywords: Hydatid cyst, Hydatid disease, Echinococcus larvae.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Hydatid disease caused by larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus usually affects lungs and liver of human and animals. Affection of subcutaneous tissue is rare; though not rarest but often clinically mistaken as neurofibroma or lipoma. Preoperative diagnosis is mandatory to avoid surgical contamination or future accidents. Two middle aged males presented with forearm nodules and one female presented with an arm nodule; all of which on needle aspiration cytology and wet smear examination provisionally diagnosed as hydatid cyst, later confirmed radiologically and surgically. Primary hydatid disease constitutes potentially serious differential diagnoses in subcutaneous swelling.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(4) 2016 p.634-636

Background: Pilomatricoma is a slow-growing, asymptomatic tumour originating from outer sheath cells of hair follicle. In this study, we describe the clinical presentation and histopathological features of pilomatricoma. Materials and Methods: This was a hospital based retrospective study carried out in all patients who were diagnosed as pilomatricoma over a period of January 2001 to December 2013. The study was done in department of pathology, Manipal Teaching Hospital, Nepal. Results: A total of 21 cases of pilomatricoma were reported with age range of 9-53 years (mean age 23.7) and male female ratio of 1:1.1. The most common site of occurrence was neck and preauricular region. The size of the tumour ranged from 0.3 to 4.7cm with a mean of 1.2cm. Multiple occurrences were seen in 3 patients and ossifying pilomarticoma was seen in 4 cases. Conclusion: Pilomatricoma is a benign skin neoplasm of hair follicle matrix cells. Calcification is a common finding while dystrophic ossification also can occur in the tumour. Histopathology gives the definite diagnosis as fine needle aspiration cytology and clinical impression may be misleading.
